The correct statement that explains how a petrified log differs from a trace fossil is:
**This fossil was an organism that has been turned into rock.**
Petrified wood is formed when organic material, such as a tree, is buried under sediment and gradually replaced with minerals, turning it into stone. In contrast, trace fossils are not the remains of the actual organism but rather evidence of its activities, such as footprints, burrows, or feces.
